Advanced control of an acousto-optic filter performance through arbitrary RF signals.

The proposed study consists of using the capabilities of an arbitrary waveform generator to create a specific radio frequency (RF) signal to be applied to an acousto-optic tunable filter based on quasicollinear interaction. By controlling the duration and shape of the acoustic pulse, the filter transmission function can be changed in terms of selectivity and side-lobe levels. The measurement results show good agreement with the simulation model based on the fast Fourier transform.

Experimental OFDM transmission performance analysis in a SOA - fiber cavity laser.

In this article, we present an experimental study of OFDM transmission using a specific bi-directional fiber cavity laser based on a semiconductor optical amplifier. We show that in the presence of sinusoidal modulation, its frequency response presents resonances relative to the optical cavity modes. We investigate first the performance of the system in terms of Error Vector Magnitude (EVM) for different configurations relative to the frequency position of the OFDM sub-carriers with respect to the frequency interval of the resonant modes.

Spectral and temporal behavior of a quasi-collinear AOTF in response to acoustic pulses: simulations and experiments.

This paper is dedicated to the study of an AOTF whose selectivity and side lobes are controlled thanks to acoustic square pulses with different and relatively low acoustic power. The behavior of the transmission function of a quasi-collinear acousto-optical tunable filter in is analyzed. The filter is used with acoustic pulses above 12 µs to manipulate the selectivity and with an electric power up to 600 mW to control the side lobes of the filtered spectrum.

Self-partner inclusion predicts performance of romantically involved individuals in a body-scaled action-anticipation task.

Previous research has shown that romantic relationships can lead to the cognitive inclusion of a romantic partner into one's own self-representation, resulting in blurred boundaries between self and intimate other. Recent work suggests that this self-other integration process encompasses the two dimensions of the self-the conceptual and the bodily self. In line with this, it has been proposed that romantic love is associated with cognitive states that blur or reduce the saliency of self-boundaries in the bodily domain.

Embodied self-other overlap in romantic love: a review and integrative perspective.

Romantic love has long intrigued scientists in various disciplines. Social-cognitive research has provided ample evidence for overlapping mental representations of self and romantic partner. This overlap between self and romantic partner would contribute to the experience of love and has been found to be a predictor of relationship quality.
